For my Mom

My Mom may be my Mom by marriage, but she is no less by Mom than my biological Mom.  How lucky is that!?  This great Mom has a passion for pink, purple, and butterflies.  Though it's hard to see in the photo, the flowers are spritzed with all the glitz and glam that pink smooch spritz (now retired) has to offer.  Mom shares the same passion for stamping that I have and I look forward to our finding time for my favorite day we share every year - a Mother/Daughter stamping day!  Not only on Mother's Day (for which this card was made) but every other day too, I say "Thank You" for sharing all that you are with me - your love, your time, and your son.  There could be no greater gifts in my life than the amazing family we have become!

Remember the card with the "Fabulous" shoes for my Mom?  Well, not to abuse her on Mother's Day, but EVERYONE in the family who saw the card and read the post just had to see those shoes!  And here they are, along with my completely awesome Mom.  Thank you Mom for being a great sport and allowing the grandchildren to share in my wonderful memory of those "fabulous" shoes.

In case you missed the original card post, you can see it under archives from this past Friday.

Fabulous Mom

With Mother's Day nearly upon me, I got this great inspiration of a "poem" of sorts at 1:00 in the morning.  You now, that time  on a work night when a normal, sane person would be sleeping!  Instead, I was staring the clock down and fondly remembering this pair of pastel patchwork patterned pumps that my Mom bought herself when I was maybe 6 years old.  My Mom is the great outdoors person that we lovingly call "Susie Nature", so while pumps in the 60's were the norm (except for on my Mom), I don't remember her wearing this pair of shoes more than once in my life.  But yet, she does still have them nearly 5 decades later and her final wish is to be buried with those fabulous patchwork pumps with the matching purse!  In honor of her and of the many fond memories I have due to her (and the memories yet to come), I would like to honor her with my version of those FABULOUS shoes!
